Extraction of Satellite Data and Generation of C/A Codes for GPS Signals on FPGA

There is a lot of research being done on the GPS technology in the present day. However, there exists a wide gap between expectations and the actuality of the performance of reception. A large role for resolving the location successfully, is played by the PRN acquisition systems for satellite signals. This paper, aims to develop an architecture to generate Coarse acquisition codes. The architecture is implemented in Simulink and subsequently, Verilog code is generated is generated from the said model. Results of acquisition are compared with existing models, and it is observed the model is better in terms of accuracy.
